MY FAITH LOOKS UP TO THEE

My faith looks up to thee,\nThou Lamb of Calvary,\nSaviour divine!\nNow hear me while I pray,\nTake all my guilt away,\nO let me from this day\nBe wholly thine.\n2. May thy rich grace impart\nStrength to my fainting heart,\nMy zeal inspire;\nAs thou hast died for me,\nO may my love to thee\nPure, warm, and changeless be,\nA living fire.\n3. While life’s dark maze I tread,\nAnd griefs around me spread,\nBe thou my guide;\nBid darkness turn to day,\nWipe sorrow’s tears away,\nNor let me ever stray\nFrom thee aside.\n4. When ends life’s transient dream,\nWhen death’s cold sullen stream\nShall o’er me roll,\nBlest Saviour, then in love\nFear and distrust remove;\nO bear me safe above,\nA ransomed soul.
